Frist of all, I want to wish everyone a happy Three Kings’ Day, just in case there is everyone out there who celebrates the holiday. I just found that out recently.

Also, I’m working on a new novel that I’m calling, “Unlovable”. Here is the summary: After years of emitting large amount of carbon dioxide, which led to climate change, which led to a series of natural disasters, such as floods and hurricanes, which led to the collapse of infrastructure, which led to the overconsumption of natural resources, which led to a shortage, which led to civil unrest, which led to many cities and towns declaring martial law, which led to a spread of influenza, the United Nations declared that all countries must lower their carbon dioxide emissions by fifty percent every year. While many countries converted to a somewhat medieval lifestyle, the United States, however, took a different route.

The United State government determined that the only way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions was to purge certain people from the population. Thus, they created the Pageant Games, a brutal, cutthroat, winner-takes-all competition that every young citizen from every district in the United States must partake in during the ninth grade. Those who win the games graduate from the ninth grade and continue their lives. Those who lose are deemed unfit to live in society, or “toxic”. These “toxic” people are taken to Blessed Wings Academy, which is a large building complex in the forest. The propose of the old campus is to imprison those who loss the Pageant Games, while cameras record their actions.

There are limited supplies inside the building, there are deadly traps set throughout the campus, and there is virtual no escape. The only way to leave Blessed Wings Academy, is for every student’s heart to stop beating. Zephyr Locke, a fifteen-year-old high school student, along with his close friends, will find themselves inside Blessed Wings Academy after losing the Pageant Games. While the rest of society is expecting them to die, Zephyr is not prepared to let that happen. Zephyr soon becomes the leader of the group, and as such, he is tasked with keeping everyone alive. So long as everyone is alive, there would be no reason to keep them in the school, and, sooner or later, everyone will realize that they have to let them out and rejoin society…right?

I was also thinking about writing another novel, but I can’t come up with an idea. Anyways, I just wanted to say hello, and let you know that I am ok.

I’ve just been so busy with work for school that I hadn’t gotten the chance to post anything. I had to take exams for both of my art history classes and finish homework for my environmental class. I stayed up late to finish a essay. For one of my classes, I had to build a portfolio of all the writing I did.

I’m home now. I decided to write something; to let you know how I’m doing.

For the last few days, I’ve been working on a new idea. I got it some time before my birthday. I’m thinking of creating another animated show and calling it “Magical Talent Showcase”.

Here is the plot: 13-year-old Zephyrus Quisenberry had only one wish: to perform in front of a large audience, He didn’t care what he was doing, he just wanted to perform. He knew he had the talent and the determination for performing, all he needed was the opportunity. Sadly, being the son of a gypsy, no one gave him the chance to do anything on stage. It wasn’t until he met Sabrina Steele that him luck began to turn around. Like Zephyrus, Sabrina loved to perform, and was a well-known performer of magic tricks in her hometown. However, there was a mishap at her last performance, and many people, most of which were people in power, became angry with her. They arrested her and, at her trial, they sentenced her to spend the rest of her life as a half-cat, half-fairy creature. It is her hope that, with Zephyrus’ help, she can find a way to turn herself back into a human. Together, the two of them compete in performance showcases and talent competitions. Slowly but surely, making their way to the top.

I made a few sketches of two of the main characters. They’re a little outdated, but I still want to show you.

I hope you enjoy them.

I also been working on my novels. I finished two new chapters of book one of “Eldritch”, and I finished one new chapter of “Turning a Blind Eye” and “Realm of Madness”. After I post this, I will update the pages.

I just got back from the restaurant. I wanted to write something before I go to bed.

I watched “Cats” with my mom and step-dad. I wrote before that seeing the play was always something I wanted to do. The play want nothing like I expected, but that’s ok because it was better and I liked it more than I thought I would. I mean, I knew I would like it, but the way the actors put on the show was surprising and amazing. Every moment within the play had the actors singing and dancing; almost no one was actually talking. The whole story was told by song. I only seemed something like that in an online video. It was awesome!

I got a playbill, a lapel pin, and a DVD of the play! I am determined to remember this night! I even got my picture taken with a cast member.

After the play, we went to a classy restaurant. Since I was 21, I wanted to try drinking an alcoholic drink. I ordered a glass of champagne; it tasted bitter. For my next alcoholic drink, I think I want to try something more sweet.

Anyways, it was a great night and I want to remember it forever! I can’t wait until my next birthday.

I also want to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday. You guys are the best!

Sorry for the lack of posts. I know that I said I would post more, but I hadn’t found the chance to post anything. I been on the computer, but I been using it to do work for school, as we as working on my novels.

Anyways, happy Thanksgiving!

I’m at home with my mom and our cat. We are watching a movie. We’re thinking about going out to see some of my step-dad’s friends.

I’ll be home for the holidays, so I might be able to post more.

It’s going to be my birthday soon. I’m turning 21. My mom got tickets to see “Cats” on Broadway. It’s something that I always wanted to see and I’m really excited for it.

I hope you all have a happy Thanksgivings! I will talk to you again soon.

Yes, I know it been 12 or so days since my last post. I wanted to post something yesterday, but couldn’t find the time.

Just wanted to say “Hello” and share with you what been going on.

Yesterday, I want to the Met Museum to look for something to write about for my research paper. I saw some staffs from South Africa on display and decided to write about them.

The art club was going to another museum, the Cloisters. I wanted to go, but by the time I got to Manhattan, it was already too late to join. I figured that I could go to the Met instead and do what I needed to do there. I told my mom that I still wanted to go to the Cloisters, and she said that we will make time.

Oh! I almost forgot to mention! The police discovered who might had broke into the apartment. They got a warrant for his arrest and are looking for him. I assume that they are still looking for him and will let us know when they find him.

Anyways, that what happened. If something else happened, I’ll write about that.

I know it been a while since my last post. A lot had happened and I couldn’t find the energy or the time.

First, I went to the 60th birthday party of my step-dad’s brother. I met his cousin and showed her my blog. She liked it and started following it, so I have a new follower!

I went back home again to get my hair done. After that, I mostly worked on my novels, some new drawings, and some homework. I also made a few changes to a few pages; fixed some things and stuff like that.

Anyways, I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween. If any of you have children or have small children in your families, then I hope you had a fun time trick-or-treating with them.

I didn’t visit my dad like I wanted because of classes and I didn’t dress up like I was planning, but there’s always next year.

Also, there was supposedly a terrorist attack near my college. My parents asked if I can ok because they were worried and my teacher talked about it in class. I’m not sure what happened, but no one I knew got hurt, so it’s all good.

So, I hope you got the chance to enjoy Halloween. I will try to post more often, but in the meantime, good night and talk to you again soon.

I have no classes this Monday, so I guess I c an do what I need to do during my day off.

I finished a chapter of my new mystery, “Turning a Blind Eye”. As soon as I upload it to the page, I will let you guys know.

I have been doing a lot of drawing in my free time. I have yet to color them in, but I would still like to share them with you all.

The first one is of Lotus Suzuki, Dusk’s, Dawn’s, and Orion’s mother. If you don’t remember these characters, then you should read the page entitled “Dusk + Dawn (Animated Show)”. There, you will find information about the characters.

The second one is of a boy and a girl sitting in a clearing in a forest. They were supposed to be new characters; characters from this idea of a novel that I had. I started coloring it in, but stopped. However, I decided against it. I hope you enjoy it anyway.
